SYNOPSIS
Trailblazing, hell-raising country music legend Tanya Tucker defied the standards of how a woman in country music was supposed to behave. Decades after Tanya slipped from the spotlight, rising Americana music star Brandi Carlile takes it upon herself to write an entire album for her hero based on Tanya’s extraordinary life, spurring the greatest comeback in country music history.
THE RETURN OF TANYA TUCKER follows Tanya’s richly creative, utterly captivating, bumpy ride back to the top as Brandi encourages her to push past her fears to create a new sound and reach a new audience. The writing, the experimenting, and refining of this new music mixes with all that came before – using rare archival footage and photographs to delve into Tanya’s history, beginning in a single wide trailer in Seminole, Texas.
Taking stock of the past while remaining vitally alive in the present and keeping an eye on the future, THE RETURN OF TANYA TUCKER is a rousing exploration of an unexpected friendship built on the joy of a perfectly timed creative collaboration.

Reviews
“The Return of Tanya Tucker is a fittingly unconventional portrait of a nonconformist.”
“Tucker’s career in the spotlight since she hit #1 with “Delta Dawn” at age 13 could alone fill biographic volumes, but her past only plays as context here to the more personal contemporary story of the artist restarting at 60.”
“What comes through most of all in Horan’s empathetic filmmaking and Carliles constant reassurances is an honest love for Tucker.”
